its key ally, south korea, japan, and the whole world. because it's a sign that the regime is actively growing the nuclear arsenal. so after north korea's last nuclear test in 2013, it took a full month before the united states decided to do a similar move where they flew a bomber very close to the demilitarized zone. they did it twice. they flew a b-52 and then they also flew a stealth bomber, a b-2 that dropped eight dummy pounds that weighed about 2,000 pounds each. they were dropped on a target. clearly a show of force. clearly the bombers, and the bomber that flew close to the border today was escorted by south korea fighter jets in addition to american fighter jets as well. now what we have to wait to see is exactly how the regime will respond. there was an editorial put out by state media earlier today. it didn't specifically address this bombing run, so we don't know if it was written before or after it happened. what we know is after the 2013 incident, north korea aimed its missiles at u.s. bases both in south korea and the pacif

i don't think it needs the nuisance that south korea is providing. what could china do that could get the fleants to ste north kop back in line? >> i think this is also a dilemma that brings in the united states. because many of these issues like the south china sea, or broader regional tensions, are really about iraqi-u.s.-china relationship in the context of a rebalance, u.s. policy of rebalancing to asia. but when you look at north korea, in fact, the ufs china south kore -- theu.s. china soul an interest in a denuclearized north korea. has china actually created a moment of opportunity for the u.s., china and south korea to work together to impose costs on north korea and to reverse north korea's efforts to become a nuclear weapons state? >> and costs often take the form of sanctions and we look at iran whether you look at the nuclear deal or not the sanctions were effective in getting iran to the table, particularly the banking sanctions, taking iran off the swift system. we don't have the same tools when it comes to north korea because it's sub

north korea is coming under as much pressure as they can bring to bear by south korea and its allies, the u.s. moat notably. this latest plan from the south korean president park geun-hye is to have discussions with the five members. it was six party members to destabilize. park geun-hye is saying the other nations china, u.s., japan and south korea and russia should get together to discuss what they can do to bring more pressure on pyongyang. as well as that there is pressure coming from south korea and u.s. on china. they want to see beijing make good on its words on opposition to the program by supporting much tougher sanctions that have been secured before at the united nations security council. a senior u.s. diplomat was here and said if china weren't to do that, then the kind of actions that south korea and u.s. might have to take, although not targeted at china, might upset china. they might not like them, the hit being that both the south koreans and americans are talking about deploying an anti battery here. so more pressure being brought to bear on china as well as north kor

is tied closely, militarily with south korea. u.s. troops are stationed around the demilitarized zone. there are missiles in place on the southern end of the peninsula. that's north korea's justification for continuing to develop not only their nuclear program but also their missile program and they have one of the largest standing armies in the world with more than 1 million troops. many of them stationed close to that heavily fortified border. things are tense after north korea conducted the fourth nuclear test in 15 years. they claim they have experts who can prove it was a hydrogen bomb, even though many are skeptical. no change in radiation levels have been detected by others. officials i met with here said the explanation is that new technology was used to reduce the amount of radiation put into the atmosphere. i asked about the possibility of additional sanction with the united states voting. officials told me, frankly, they're not worried about sanctions. they say they've lived with them for so many years, the thought of more
